Have you been using proper tags? It's pretty much alive there too with everyone sharing gifsets and thoughtful commentary, tho I admit tumblr isn't the best platform for direct interactions between users

Exactly, no one's to blame here. Building a world of fantasy in your head about the person you've been in love with for years isn't strange. Being suddenly exposed to such deep and intense emotions after living 30 years thinking you're unlikable can make one nervous and anxious. Adachi and Kurosawa will be alright and will work things out I'm sure. They just need time and people need to be patient.

Thank you! I'm aware the drama is taking some liberties so it's not exactly the same as the manga which is why I'm curious. Another reply said Fujisaki kinda helped and now I hope they keep this detail as I really like her character

No I meant how it happened in the manga. I'm aware we can't predict how it's gonna be in the drama ^_^

Oh thank you! I really like this, especially that Fujisaki helped (I love her hhh), I hope they keep this part. But why was Kurosawa at the airport? Was he leaving? :/

People who read the manga, can someone tell me (under a spoiler ofc!) how and when they get together, if ever?

Thank you! I'm starting to get a bit irritated by people upset at Adachi's reactions. When he invited Kurosawa to stay over, he really meant it and it was to repay Kurosawa's kindness for taking care of him by another kindness because that's what decent people do. But accidentally learning what Kurosawa was actually expecting from this cohabitation made him feel overwhelmed and nervous and it's only natural even if he's starting to like him. Imagine going out with someone and they bring up marriage and living together from the very first date. Even if you like the person, wouldn't you be anxious and feel the pressure? When Adachi invited Rukkako to join them, it was simply to avoid the inevitable ensuing awkwardness, not that he suddenly wants to be cold to Kurosawa and push him away. Adachi cares about Kurosawa and is very considerate of his feelings to him (he was worried when he didn't text back and wondered if he caused him pain) but at the same time he's understandably overwhelmed, it's all very new to him and he doesn't know how to handle it. These are valid emotions he has no control over and the show is doing an excellent job portaying them in a logical ans realistic way so I really don't get what's there to be upset about.

I love the ending so much, it fills my heart with warmth. Whether in their suits going back home from work or in casual clothes taking a walk together, you can feel how comfortable and content they are, enjoying each other's company. It's such a simple ending but it radiates happiness

I can't sleep either, your words made me even sadder :(

I keep thinking about things from Kurosawa's perspective and my heart just breaks into pieces :(

That was cute! I think mine is all the Adachi and Fujisaki scenes in episode 4, it was so heartwarming and I hope they become close and allies. I also loved the scene where Adachi was on the verge of tears (I actually cried) when hearing Kurosawa's sincere thoughts about him and how he doesn't need anything other than being next to Adachi.

Definitely not. Love can be expressed in endless ways and an obssession with only the physical aspect of it isn't good imo. I'm afraid a lot of bl productions are feeding into the fetish surrounding bl as a genre and so many people come to every project with certain expectations and get mad when they don't get them. I personally don't mind and actually prefer more subtle and laid back story telling with a focus on emotions and thoughts.

If you don't mind torrenting I can give you a link. I'm also not sure if it's ok to post it here in the replies

She told her mother she and Hwan share the same soul. Their love is one that goes beyond romantic and physical relationship. They love each other and will always be in each other's lives even without being physically together

This is a show where adults fail to act rationally and responsibly most of the time, how can we expect that from a 13 year-old? Maybe running away like that was too dramatic but if you think about it, it only makes sense.

I loved that little detail about the title too. The house light up, it's now a home.

Thank you for speaking on behalf of all of us who are thouroughly enjoying this gem of a drama and definitely not thinking it's a waste of our time. I'd like to also point out it's literally called "hot stove league", it's about the off-season period and everything that happens backstage around and beyond the game itself. Anyone expecting this drama to be full of actual baseball can only blame themselves for their own disappointment.
